Chile pepper markets remain volatile as tariff uncertainties have slowed U.S. crossings. Growers held product in Mexico earlier this week due to stronger domestic demand but are now resuming shipments into the United States.

• Volume is gradually recovering as border crossings increase in South Texas, Nogales, Arizona, and Otay Mesa, California
• Suppliers are well-positioned to fulfill orders as shipments continue to increase
• The spring transition could cause supply gaps, as reduced field maintenance from depressed markets has impacted yields
• Expect prices to remain elevated through the end of next week
